Recently i got a softwre update(43.68 Mb) on my stock rooted Galaxy S Duos s7562. after I have downloaded the update it asked to update now or later.. when accepted to install now, It swittched off and opened in cwm recovery and said failed to verify signature of file.. istallation aborted.
-in which I disabled signature verification.. but after a few sec "signature check disabled" msg pops up..
does it mean I can flash the update file manually after moving it from ( /cache/ ) to my sdcard?? or it will cause any problem???
help guys!
The ota wont install because you have a custom recovery. Try to flash a stock recovery back and take the ota again.

That I can figure but signature check is disabled then why not installing.. and Can I just take the downloaded OTA update from /cache/ and install it in recovery?
I think you can, but if you can download the ota from xda and then move the zip over to the sd card that would be best. Also, I think the zip verification has to do with md5 hashes, and not with whether or not the ota will install. It may also be failing because of your modified system.

You could always stick the OTA on your hard drive from /cache/ and use adb sideload <file>

Attention: I am a n00b and this is the first time im ever installing a custom ROM to any Android phone. Please provide detailed instructions so I can actually do it!
I have a rooted EVO 3D hboot 1.4 kernel version 2.6.35.10-gcb1cf83 build number 1.13.651.7 CL83920 release-keys
I want to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362 (MeanROM) on my phone. This requires updating my firmware (i think?), which is what I was having problems with when I tried to do this myself.
This is what happens when i try to update the firmware:
I tried doing this 2 ways: using adb to push "freeza's all in one firmware update" (which the ROM instructs me to install), and using Finder on Mac to just drag "freeza's all in one firmware update" straight onto my sd card. I use ClockworkMod 5.0.2 and press install zip, select it, and confirm, and it reads back like this:
Installing: /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Because I couldn't update my firmware, I decided not to proceed installing the ROM for fear of bricking my phone. I was wondering if anyone could try and help me figure out 1) why it wont install the update, and 2) how i can install the update and the ROM?
PLEASE HELP!
Also, im not sure if this might help, but on the MeanROM thread it says "If you are already running the above firmware and one of the stock deodexed 2.17.651.5 ROMs, you should be OK wiping cache/dalvik and then just flashing this ROM." Does that mean that if i cant figure out how to update my firmware i can just get that stock deodexed ROM and then install MeanROM?
Thank you in advance!
To update firmware you wanna boot your phone into bootloader and your phone will ask you to update from there. Once your firmware is updated then make a backup and put the ROM on your SD and that is what you can flash from recovery. Most do recommend twrp recovery and not clockwork for meanrom...

Can you explain to me with a little detail how to do that please? Because thats what I tried to do earlier and i couldnt figure it out. Also, if TWRP is recommended, is there a way that i can flash twrp and remove clockwork?

To boot into bootloader turn on your phone holding volume down button. You can install twrp recovery by downloading the img file and flashing it with the app flash image GUI. Using the app is pretty self explanatory.
Edit: also make sure the firmware updater is named PG86IMG.zip and is on the root of your SD card. Make sure to rename the file or move it after you've updated.

Thank you so much! i will try this tonight and let you know how it goes
So I flashed TWRP v2.0.0 perfectly okay. I then tried to update the firmware through TWRP and this is what i got:
E:Unable to stat '/sd-ext/.'
E:Unable to open zip file.
The progress bar at the bottom has been going to infinity since i tried to update the firmware and there is no way i can get out of TWRP...help!
so i figured out how to exit the recovery finally using adb, but now im back at the original problem: i cant get twrp to open the zip. from looking online, it appears that it may have something to do with the MD5...although i dont know what that means. Just a thought...

That means redownload the rom,kernel,or whatever you were trying to flash again and reflash it. A bad/corrupt md5
usually means that some how a file within the zip got corrupted.

Bootloader and recovery are different. The firmware is flashed through bootloader. To get into bootloader, power on holding volume down and power.

Just wait a sec
What do you mean with downloading
where do u try to flash the rom
via recovery odin or adb?
In general those error messages appear if there went something wrong with the signing procedure
this often happens with custom roms
Chances are a bad download, as above re download and try again before doing anything else

The zip file isn't recognized by the Rom I am using or recovery. I guess I should flash a Rom with fastboot: fastboot flash zip rom.zip.
I don't get it! I have flashed a stock Rom and these errors appear out of nowhere!? I guess I may have to format my sdcard.
Could it be a problem with sdcard partitioning?

How am I meant to return to stock now?
I have voided my warranty with HTCDev and now I can't use any ruu's at all, in case it does not work and my phone gets messed up.
I just had the same error... formating 3 different SD cards didn't work.
I couldn't do restore.
I couldn't use the rom I had installed a few month ago
It didn't make a difference the zip was downloaded by Internet Explorer or Chrome
Solution:The minute I installed a new version (i guess re-installing would work as well) of CWM it stopped giving that error.
no luck
No luck... Nothing works from here... I still get cant open (rom name) zip (bad) ... Any other advices?

Hi
I get a eror message while installing the official rom in Infosys m370i please help
System/CDA/items/bouble/bouble.apk has unexpected element
So I'm rooting my best friend's Vibrant, which is on Froyo. I did all the workarounds needed to root while on Froyo and I managed to root the phone and get recovery running (the reinstall packages one). But, I've been trying to install CM11 from recovery and it doesn't let me. First, whenever I picked the zip to install it, it would throw me with the Status 0 error, so either the zip was corrupt or the CWM was too old. So, I downloaded another CM11 and it still threw me the same error, which meant the problem was recovery. With the AIO toolbox, I managed to get a newer recovery running, but when I select the zip it says it couldn't mount /sdcard. And then /sdcard becomes unreadable in recovery until I reboot the phone. /Sdcard can be read fine when booted into the OS so I don't think it's the encryption bug. But, I can't install any ROM, and can't find any other CWM image that's more recent or maybe a TWRP image. What to do?

[URGENT HELP]
I was updating apps from playstore. So there was an update for superuser and i updated it as well. After the update superuser asked for some binary file update and had an option for installation through CWM/TWRP Recovery . Since i had it installed i selected that option and the phone botted to recovery and then nothing happened. I was expecting it to auto install. I try to reboot the phone but it boots to recovery everytime. What can i do to solve this? i dont want to flash a ROM because i need to backup contacts first
Next time, choose the "normal" option.
For your problem, reflash CWM through Odin or flash stock recovery.

Hello there! As the title says, while phone is in bootloader, I don't have the USB connetion (no matter than phone shows that I do).... I have flashed TWRP but when I'm trying to install SuperSU I get the error: E: Unble to mount '/cache' . In the result, I have the SuperSU app but it say that it can't find binaries..... Does anyone knows how to fix that?
Try flashing the supersu flashable zip again, you can even find the updated binary flashable zip
